The Leggers Inn in Kirklees

I visited Leggers for dinner and a drink to celebrate a birthday . The menu looked great and would have been if half of my main meal wasn’t cold . Chips and peppercorn sauce were tepid . I ask for my fillet steak rare and it was cooked through . Everyone else’s chips and sauce were cold too. My meal was changed without question and with a smile . I had the stew and dumplings , it was piping hot and very nice . It was quiet so I don’t know why the food was cold . The overall experience was good and the bar staff , especially Lydia were lovely and very friendly . I would have preferred to be able to buy a 750ml bottle of red wine rather than those little ones . All other colours of wine came in large bottles so don’t know why red didn’t . Would I go again? …. Yes but not for a celebratory meal . I may have expected too much from a pub . The meals that were coming out for other people looked lovely especially the Yorkshire pudding sharing platter , it was massive .

Nice little bar in lovely setting

Gem of a pub by the canal. Lovely staff, well kept beer at fair prices. Food looked great especially the sharing platter. Worth the effort getting there, great in summer or after an autumn walk. Recommended.

Interesting, unpretentious waterside pub with great bar and ambience

Can't fault the food, and there was plenty on the plate.

Run down, not very clean. Beer average.

Brilliant staff Quick service even though it was really busy due to a wedding at the venue . Lovely food and fantastic location

Having walked here numerous times for drinks in the sunshine we decided to call for lunch. Mentioned to the barmaid it was disappointing and not as sunny as planned to which she replied I'm glad and I hope its crap all weekend then I can finish early!!!!! We ordered drinks and asked if we could have a tab with a view to ordering food. She said no and by the way it's a limited menu so dont bother making your mind up from the menu board. We were given a limited menu and placed our order. She told me to get my own knives forks salt pepper vinegar and napkins whilst juggling two pints and had to navigate the stairs. When the steak and ale pie with peas and gravy came it was so disappointing. The half spoonful of peas was on top of a stale pie containing one piece of meat. Very very disappointing food and service

Very nice place went for my mates baby shower and very nice staff

First visit and will definitely be going back. A lovely pub/setting by the canal & boats. Although didn't eat the food looked amazing. Can't wait to return

A nice lil spot by the river, relaxed atmosphere. Generally good people.

Really disappointing. Been to parties here previously but massively gone down hill. Can't blame the bar staff but just generally bad management. My mum and dad had a 30th wedding anniversary party. Room was double booked which the other guests came to tell us. I can only assume they got our food buffet because ours was shocking, not worth £470 for sure. They have given half money back but I honestly don't think it quite cuts it! We was there from 3pm it's a long time to go without decent food. DJ was great and it is in nice grounds.

Went to a anniversary party last night....food was shocking. Left over pizza and chips from 2 hrs earlier when the kids has there food...added to it was calslaw pork pie sausage roll. Bowl of hot chips and sandwiches not nice. I have read good reviews about this place but our experience wasn't good. Last orders 10 o clock....what's all that about.??

Excellent meal. We walked a mile to get here and it was well worth it. The fish and chips are huge and it was the best fish we’d had in a very long time. They also have a few gluten free items on the menu.

Hey y'all. Had a tequila, but no lime on this side o town. Staff on phone, while I'm stood holding ma bone. Never tried the food down to the price. Outdoors is nice in summer. Thornhill gypsy ruin it.

Really disappointed to write this review as this is somewhere we have been meaning to try for the last few months after seeing the amazing looking food on Facebook. The experience we had today was so poor, we chose to come today (Monday lunchtime around 12:30pm) for a nice lunch before my friend started work. We were the only ones in the pub and weren’t even greeted with a hello! After saying we wanted to eat we were given 2 ‘lazy Sunday’ menus, which was confusing as it was Monday & the spring/summer menu is what drew us to go here (served 12-3 excluding sat & sun) I asked for the Philly cheese steak sandwich and was abruptly told they weren’t doing that menu today. We decided on the ‘bun bun platter’ two burgers & a side for £30. We ordered and paid for our food and drinks at the bar. About 10 minutes of waiting the girl from the bar came over and said unfortunately their meat fridge had been turned off therefore they would have to go out and get supplies which would mean a long wait! I just think this was a terrible excuse, how could this even happen? Just seemed like they didn’t want to start cooking just for us. We got our money back & won’t be returning. We felt uncomfortable & felt like we weren’t wanted there. I’m presuming it would be different all together if we went on a weekend, however this has now put us off.

8 of us went for a meal yesterday after looking at the pictures and reviews on here. We wanted to go for some nice food, play a game of pool. And somewhere the kids could also play. It looks so nice on the photos but it was really run down in person. The kids play area is not like the photos, the slides are missing, the climbing frame is broken and dangerous. The sand pit is filthy. The bar man was welcoming though and the food was really nice. Its situated in a lovely place with the canal boats. Its just a shame they haven't kept up with cleaning and maintenance of the site. But we do recommend the food. We had the ribs and salmon and the kids pizza meal.

Came here for an event, great choice of drinks, lovely outdoor area and right on the canal so lovely surroundings. Just had buffet food so can't comment much on that as it was just standard

Little gem of a place great Guinness , beers lagers ciders cuppa tea if you prefer Great food , dog friendly , however really could do with a tidy up outside in seating area , looks very neglected with weeds and rubbish , playground is neglected etc , could be so much improved.

It's good though the local populace are a bit... I highly recommend the pulled pork and sausage.

We didn't eat here but the food looked very nice. An interesting bar on the 1st floor with lots of outdoor seating in the canal basin.

A random find while out with family, searched for a child friendly pub restaurant. The bar is upstairs, left at the top of the stairs. We were served quickly, took drinks to our outdoor table. The food arrived quickly and we all enjoyed our different meals.

Lovely place, very welcoming and the staff is amazing. Family favourite but wasn’t a big fan of the big menu change, liked more on the old menu

Great place for food and a laid back atmosphere and drinks 🍸 👌

I really like this place. Food is good, it is a simple menu but nice. Great area outside.

Very homely feel to this place.. Warm Fireside area upstairs in the Bar area, with a selection of beers and ales, and I'm told although I've never eaten here, that the Meals are good too. Worth a Visit.!!

Great bar with plenty of choice

The Food and Staff are amazing I will definitely be going back again and the atmosphere is superb great selection of music and if you go there you’re down to have a laugh

Food was good...but we didn't get exactly what we ordered. We highlighted this to a member of staff, but she just said "sorry, it won't happen again".

Lovely food , service was a bit grim

Awesome place. Really enjoyed my close friend's 50th Birthday party here.

Warm and welcoming. A cosy atmospheric bar serving a good selection of beer and incredibly tasty food at good prices. The chicken pie was to die for. The ladies tending bar and serving food were all friendly and helpful. There is a watering station in the bar for dogs.

We stop off weekly at the pub, the atmosphere is amazing, the food is delicious and the locals and staff are extremely welcoming. Whether you're dropping in for a quick pint, a brew, a dessert or one of their amazing Sunday lunches, you are always treated to the best food and can honestly say there is nowhere like this in Dewsbury.

What a quirky lovely place this .We ordered the beef Sunday dinner ..it was the best roast dinner I have had in a very very long time, everything on the plate was home freshly made the Yorkshire pudding was enormous and so light and tasty, congratulations chef on a superb plate of food. Definitely will be back for many more.

Weny her to attend the Legless festival, the pubs own mini music fetival, a great Day and they have some decent real ales too

Great little pub in a nice location. Pie and peas really nice and great selection of drinks

A very friendly place for company, if they give it for free, he pays. I liked the tea.

A great place to stop off if you're out walking or cycling in the area, great food & drinks

Great pub, good food. Great value will be back for a second visit

Used to have a fantastic rotating line up of cask beer from modern independent progressive breweries. Now it is just wetherspoons fodder, and lagers for the Carling brigade. No longer a real ale hotbed.

Heard great things about this place and visited for the first time on Saturday. A few people in our group ordered loaded chips and the toppings looked so nice. I decided to order salt n pepper chips expecting fresh toppings but all I got was a powdered seasoning which was disappointing. Toilets absolutely disgusting and I had my 2 month old with me, so when I went to change him in the baby changing it looked like it had never been cleaned and it stank. So glad I have a travel changing mat because I would not be putting my baby on that thing I would have changed him in the middle of the room on a table! I was a bit hesitant putting my mat on the dirty changing table tbh. I'm sure it's nice in summer being able to eat outside by the canal and I will come back to do that. The food did look nice and everyone else enjoyed theirs, it was just very disappointing when I got mine. Hopefully the toilets will be clean by the time I return.

Nice inn with a good selection of food and ales. It was quiet when we went in on a lunch time, and they coped well with the big group of unexpected people ordering food. Lovely salt and pepper chips.

Lovely food, lovely pub, just a shame they charged me £13 for a sticky toffee pudding and a battered Mars bar🤮👎🏻

Ordered roast Sunday lunch. Quick, friendly service delivered a huge plate full. A good choice of beer to boot too.

Absolutely brilliant food and friendly staff would recommend 100%. We had the turkey traditional roast , great day out!

My fiancé & I went to the leggars for a baby shower, we had a really good afternoon.

Great pub, hidden gem! Sunday lunch was awesome 👌 Great selection of drinks. Staff are lovely 😍

Just been for a Sunday dinner. When it can it looked lovely. Unfortunately the food was cold. The cauliflower that felt like it had just come out of the fridge everything else was only like warm.

It was closed wish the site had been aswell

Great place to relax, eat and drink

We ordered giant Yorkshire puddings with sausages and veg which looked and tasted great but unfortunately the wait time for food was over an hour but we were offered a complementary drink due to the long wait.

Great food, superb beer and nice prices, lovely place

Great place,lots of outdoor seating,only minus is bar shuts early

Not from area and was looking for a local pub at my destination for some food. Nice place and the food was excellent!! Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend for food and recommend the burgers 🍔 👌

Really disappointed with my visit from yesterday! I rang in advance to book a table and then arrived yesterday to be told it’s only starters and shares? So basically it was loaded chips or wings… and we didn’t want any of that. I came for one of your gorgeous burgers or halloumi wraps I had seen.. I would have appreciated a call beforehand to tell me your only serving starters or sharers to start with before we wasted our time coming down. We then saw lots of burgers coming out the kitchen and given to a family.. so I asked the lady behind the bar and they said they just made up this menu now and that’s all that’s available.. no burgers to be seen on it. So why did these people get special treatment? We left and went elsewhere. Really disappointed and didn’t realise you had to be special to be given a secret menu.

Food is great .. took a hour and hlf for food to come out

From the outside the pub looked lovely. Music playing, by the water with barges and plenty of seating but unfortunately the food was a bit of a let down. The vegan burger was over cooked, chips cold, parmo had no bechamel or marinara sauce on, battered Mars bar smelt like fish (I can only assume it was cooked in same oil as the fish) and although the apple crumble (vegan) was lovely, there was no vegan option for custard or ice cream so had to have it plain. The most disappointing bit by far was the rudeness of the waitress who served us. I’d have got more charisma and manners from a lettuce leaf! She may as well have rolled her eyes in front of us; she absolutely did not want to be there!! (and made us not want to return).

Great food but need more bar staff and the piped music to the outside seating area is always so loud it's difficult to have a reasonable conversion with company.

Great pub, enjoyed a pint of Leeds Best after completing the Flat Cap 5

Staff were extremely friendly,polite and proficient. Good variation on the menu and very reasonable prices. Will definitely return.

We arrived at 3pm- 3.30pm in the afternoon . Not busy at all , so our party of 14 should have been no trouble, we ordered pretty much together as 3 seperate families. The food came in spurts as one meal at a time. And the food was over cooked and chips were greecy . Moby dick fish chips and mushy peas for £14 , fish was quite big but spoiled by been over cooked. 😡 nobodys meal was perfect , had alot of waste. Because of been overcooked, very poor indeed.

Lovely place, good friendly customer service and excellent food. We were more than happy with our meals. The double cheeseburger seemed homemade and was the nicest I've ever had 10 out of 10. We got plenty of food for a decent price. Can recommend this rustic quirky little place.

Great day nice food great staff

Nice place. On the canal with some great views. The place I think may be under new management - recently have found the place to be very friendly, with great food and entertainment. We went to the pride event which was fantastic! With love music, good food and plenty of entertainment, it was a great day for the whole family. Particularly liked the cocktail truck there today. Even when there is no event going on, the place is lovely. Definitely would recommend a visit for a drink and some good pub grub.

Great place for a beer or a meal, during a sunny day the canal is spectacular

Great spot this, been here for beers on walks down the canal a few times but had the food today and it was brilliant. At first look it seems expensive but you get a proper portion and the beer is cheap so makes up for it. Absolute hidden gem!

Great friendly venue, helpful with great handpulled beers. Moorings and a large car park for patrons only 🍺🍺🍺👍🏿

Had booked afternoon tea for a large party. Really disappointed for the price (£15pp). A few plain cheese and plain ham sandwiches, 2 mini pork pies cut in half, 2 scotch eggs cut in half and 4 miniature cupcakes for each group of 4 people. No drink included.

Service was slow but was a busy day

Doesn't cater for disabled, or it didn't when I went

Afternoon tea was shocking not worth the money. We couldn't order food til 4. Not very disabled friendly. Bar is upstairs. Asked for a manager and none on shift

It was peng fish an chips, lovely day my only issue is drinks are slightly hefty, there not too bad I've seen a lot worse in the west riding. Everything else was great. Thanks

Friendly pub. Went to watch their Leggers Festival. Great act performing. Outdoor seating next to Dewsbury marina made it an interesting. Place to have a drink.

Live music,several acts in particular Leagh Dixon(not the footballer) and the Quarter Pounders,great afternoon,nice couple pints of pints Barnsley Bitter.

Brilliant place 👍 I would highly recommend

Came across this pub whilst exploring canal basins along the Sheffield Navigation Canal. Very hot day so really enjoyed my pint of ice cold larger and lime. Didn't go inside but lots of outside seating with lots of dogs water bowls around. Pub wasn't serving food as chefs day off Sundays but there was a burger van which served a very acceptable burger and chips.

Pleasant location. Canal basin is tatty and plenty of flotsam in the corners, but that's canals for you. Doesn't have an unpleasant odour. Inside is quite traditional and the staff friendly. Not a wide variety of food and if the kitchen is open, decent service times. Drinks available inside and outside seats/tables.

Will not be going back to soon.

Called sunday for a few drinks sat outside lots of people there enjoying the sun, live singer on good vibes the food coming out looked nice but didn't eat this time will defo call again

It was a lot better than I thought it would be tbh. Lots of staff around but no real leader so it was a little bit hit and miss on the service side. The food was good, party of 4 every meal was different and they were all eaten. Shame we never got to try the desserts or coffee but we waited long enough for a drink that never arrived. We would go again but maybe not on a Sunday.

Excellent Family Pub providing a good selection of drinks with lovely food .

Went for an easter egg hunt with the young one, tidy pub and looks like it'd be a good place for food

Always great here awesome staff love the beer garden looking at all the boats, The food is amazing the chef can’t do enough for you they look after your every need I had the fish and chips wow great food good value. If your passing it’s worth a look

Great dog friendly pub and great food

Good food,staff friendly quiet day after Easter break comfortable watch you head of over 6 ft tall

Lovely scenery, nice pints. Never eaten here but the scran looks good.

This pub is ok on a nice sunny day when you can sit outside.Inside is more for having a meal .

We enjoyed a wonderful day for our daughters Engagement party fabulous venues allowed to decorate and arrange exactly as we wanted the staff were so supportive and helpful nothing was too much trouble we all made very very welcome what a little gem

Nice peaple, good food, nice location

Went today for Sunday lunch. Had the steak and chicken platter. It was amazing! Beat sunday lunch in a long time

We turned up here for lunch a little bit mob handed for an impromptu family meal. The staff were incredibly accommodating and allowed us to rearrange tables so we could all eat together. The food was very reasonably priced, and was out of this world. Everyone commented that their meal exceeded expectations. I'm sure that we will be back here again.

Lovely, snug place to visit. Fire was on, so cosy ! After a morning stroll along the canal myself and friends enjoyed pub cooked food here. *Specials menu 2 meals £15 ! A right Bargain !! Great meals had : Sausages n mash, fish, chips, peas & curry sauce !!, GIANT Yorkshire pudding, beef stew n gravy. Fish butty comes in a sandwich with lettuce and tartar sauce. Oh and SHARING PLATTERS !!! WOW JUST WOW !!! Wouldn't recommend the "chinese" chicken curry & rice, taste like packet rice and not much sauce...quite dry...(was kindly refunded for my disappointment/disliking) STICK TO the PROPER TRADITIONAL pub meals and you'll be right :)

Gorgeous setting on the canal, very clean and welcoming

Friendly staff. Good food. Good ambience.

Booked slightly last minute were very accommodating our table was reserved roses chocolates and candles adorned the table we were offered drinks and asked our menu choices the waitress very attentive and informative over dishes and the special cocktails which i tried all 3 the best was the love punch .alight wait for the meal no problem all cooked fresh when it arrived was beautifully presented and tasted sublime i had the asparagus salmon and we shared the trio dessert partner had the chicken dish and garlic mushrooms the chef even came out and asked how our meal was there was a lovely singer on beautiful voice our meals looked so lovely we attracted attention from a nearby party who said it looked lovely overall a lovely atmosphere and great night thanks

The leggers was very warm and welcoming with a fire burning, the staff was friendly and the food was tasty and quick after ordering too. Also a dog friendly place too ❤️❤️❤️

A veritable oasis in what is otherwise an industrial area. CL campsite next to a boating marina. The staff are ultra friendly, especially Sheileigh, the Australian barmaid who made me , a solo traveller extremely welcome. Very busy on a Friday night, even in February, but all the locals are extremely welcoming if you put a bit of effort in to communicate. The best fish and chips (£10) that I've ever had in a pub. Will definitely return. Thank you. Cx

wouldn't recommend - staff are shockingly rude, food was probably the worst ive ever seen / tasted with refunds being refused due to us having a bite out of it. questionable management. never to return.

This is a great pub, a proper little hidden gem! I've only given 4 stars rather than 5 because the pub feels like it leans more in favour of food service rather than the cosy pub feel that I remember it as. That said, we did have food here and it was excellent. The beer is good too and the fires are lit when it's cold. Great pub!

Shows open till 21.00 just spent a fiver for cab only to find its closed
